:''For theories about the Horn, see [[Horn of Winter/Theories]]''
The '''Horn of Winter''', also known as the '''Horn of Joramun''', is a legendary horn with magical properties. It was supposedly blown by [[Joramun]], a wildling [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]]. When he blew the horn, he "woke the giants from the earth." {{ref|aCoK|23}}
It is currently claimed that blowing the Horn will destroy [[the Wall]]. {{ref|aSoS|30}} [[Mance Rayder]] claims to have found the Horn of Joramun in a grave beneath a glacier, high up in the [[Frostfangs]]. {{Ref|ADWD|10}}

==Appearance==
The horn which [[Mance Rayder]] names the Horn of Joramun is eight feet long. It is so wide at the mouth that [[Jon Snow]] could put his arm inside up to the elbow. {{ref|aSoS|73}} It is black in colour {{Ref|ADWD|10}} with gold bands that are graven with runes of the [[First Men]]. At first Jon thinks the bands are bronze but when he moves closer he realises that the bands are made of gold, ''old gold, more brown than yellow''. {{ref|aSoS|73}} It is said to be a thousand years old. {{Ref|ADWD|10}}

It is not known what the horn is made of. Jon Snow thinks that if it came from an [[aurochs]], it was the biggest aurochs that ever lived. {{ref|aSoS|73}}

==Recent Events==
===A Storm of Swords===
[[Mance Rayder]] initially claimed to have opened fifty graves in search of the Horn but failed to find it. However, when [[Jon Snow]] returned to the [[wildling]] camp, this time as a brother of the [[Night's Watch]], Mance presented what he said was the Horn, telling Jon of his plans to blow the horn should the wildlings fail to take the [[Wall]]. {{Ref|aSoS|73}}

When Jon asked why they haven’t used the horn, why not just sound it and be done? It is [[Dalla]] that answers,
{{Quote|“We [[free folk]] know things you kneelers have forgotten. Sometimes the short road is not the safest, Jon Snow. The [[Horned Lord]] once said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt. There is no safe way to grasp it.”}}
Talk in the tent turns to the threat of the Others and Mance remarks that if he sounds the Horn of Winter, the [[Wall]] will fall, or so the songs say. Dalla then speaks,
{{Quote|“But once the Wall is fallen, '''what will stop the [[Others]]'''?” {{Ref|aSoS|73}}}}
Mance planned to offer the Horn in exchange for letting his people pass through the Wall. If the [[Night's Watch]] refused [[Tormund]] Giantsbane was to sound the Horn at dawn three days hence but the [[Battle of Castle Black#Stannis and Battle Beneath the Wall|arrival of Stannis Baratheon]] put an end to that plan.
===A Dance with Dragons===
The supposed Horn is burned by [[Melisandre]] when she has "Mance Rayder" (actually a glamoured [[Rattleshirt]]) put to death by fire.

When [[Melisandre]] sets the Horn of Joramun alight it bursts into flame and goes up with a whoosh as swirling tongues of green and yellow fire leap and crackle all along it length. The men of the [[Night’s Watch]] have to fight to still their mounts. A moan comes from the stockade as the [[free folk]] see their hope afire. For half a heartbeat the runes graven on the gold bands seem to shimmer in the air. The [[Queen's Men]] then heave the Horn into the fire pit where it crashes amongst the logs and leaves and kindling. Within three heartbeats the whole pit is aflame and [[Rattleshirt|"Mance Rayder"]] is dying in agony. {{Ref|ADWD|10}}

Later, as the [[free folk]] are passing through the Wall [[Tormund Giantsbane]] mentions to Jon Snow that the destroyed horn was a fake; Mance never found the true Horn. {{ref|aDwD|53}} Tormund says to Jon,
{{Quote|“[[Melisandre|She]] burned that fine big horn, aye. A bloody sin, I call it. A thousand years old, that was. We found it in a [[giant]]’s grave, and no man o’ us had ever seen a horn so big. That must have been why Mance got the notion to tell you it were Joramun’s. He wanted you crows to think he had it in his power to blow your bloody [[Wall]] down about your knees. But we never found the true horn, not for all our digging. If we had, every kneeler in your [[Seven Kingdoms]] would have chunk’s o’ ice to cool his [[wine]] all summer.” {{Ref|ADWD|58}}}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|“We never found the Horn of Winter. We opened half a hundred graves and let all those shades loose in the world, and never fond the Horn of Joramun to bring [[Wall|this cold thing down]]!”{{Ref|asos|30}}}} - [[Ygritte]]


{{Quote|“The Horn of Joramun? No. Call it the Horn of Darkness. If the [[Wall]] falls, night falls as well, the [[Long Night|long night]] that never ends. It must not happen, will not happen!” {{Ref|ADWD|10}}}} – [[Melisandre]]


{{Quote|“Would that I had the Horn of Joramun I’d give it a nice toot and we’d climb through the rubble.”}} [[Tormund Giantsbane]], to [[Jon Snow]]


{{Quote|Had [[Mance Rayder]] lied to him, or was [[Tormund]] lying now? If Mance’s horn was just a feint, where is the true horn? {{Ref|ADWD|58}}}} - [[Jon Snow]]’s thoughts
